This Week’s News
Fish Fry Dinners
Fridays during Lent - 4:00-7:00 PM
Fish Fry Dinners are a community mission. Pause a moment and consider the fact that hundreds of people from our community will enter our doors again or for the first time. Everything about us is on display. Our smiles, kind words, our wonderful facility, and, of course, the delicious food we serve.
Thank you to everyone involved, and especially to the new helpers.
See the signup sheets in the back of the sanctuary or call the church office for ways to help. If you have questions, talk to Pastor Scott or Louie Bobsein (716-417-6615).
God bless you for all you do. We look forward to the next two Fridays of our church filled with smiling people!

Sunday Morning Bible Study
Come join us on Sunday mornings, 10:30am to 11:15am, in Connection Room 2! Our current study is in Romans - Blueprint for Being a Devoted Disciple of Jesus Christ.
Lent Bible Study
Thursdays, 11a or 7p, Connection Room 1
Our Lenten Bible study and sermon series are based on a book called Witness at the Cross by Dr. Amy-Jill Levine. What do we bear witness to? Asked differently, if someone asked you why the cross is necessary, what would you say? Words don’t seem to adequately capture what happens in Jesus’ crucifixion. It’s horrifying to see. It’s awful to think about. It’s tragic for those closest to Him. Yet because of the cross, we know salvation and victory. We see the love of God pushed to the extreme but never broken.
GriefShare
Thursdays, 6:30p, Connection Room 2
GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability - and gain solid support each step of the way.
Feel free to contact Pastor Jennifer or Sue Hilts with questions or for more information.
Feeding Hope
Wednesday, 3/20
Come to the church kitchen anytime after 3:00 PM on March 20 to help prep and package up. We leave the church at 6:30 to go downtown Buffalo, where the folks will be waiting. Sandy Houck
Hams Needed for Thursday Night Dinners
We are in need of hams and some of the side dish items to complete our meal. Our dinner will take place on March 28, and if you would like to support this beautiful ministry, we would deeply appreciate it! Besides ham, we’re looking for boxed scalloped potatoes, eggs, butter, frozen peas, and yellow cake mix. If you can help with purchasing any of these, drop them off in the Fellowship Hall collection area by Monday, March 25. If you prefer, financial support is always appreciated, as we have the ability to buy certain items in bulk and stretch our funds further.
We also extend our open invitation for folks to come out and help prepare, serve, or clean up after this celebration. We love to share this opportunity with others who would like to help others spread the Gospel and the Good News, while serving a delicious meal. And if you would like to drive up to First Church, 8210 Buffalo Ave in Niagara Falls, on any Thursday evening between 5 and 6, we would be happy to share a meal with you, too!
Please contact DJ Mahar for more information!
Candy Donations Needed
When shopping for candy for Easter, please consider picking up an extra bag of individually wrapped candy for our children and youth ministries. You can label it and drop it off in the food collection area in the Fellowship Hall. Thank you!
